Under Construction

The earliest images in this selection show the building of Hendrefoilan House, Swansea c1855 and the construction of the Elan Valley Water Scheme in mid-Wales in the early 1900s. Later images reflect the ambitious building projects of the 1950s and 1960s, such as hydro-electric schemes, roads and new housing. More recent images show the gas pipelines, wind farms and shopping developments of the twenty-first century. We will continue to record new building in Wales and will update this gallery with the latest images of future developments.
